On the Nature of Botanical Gardens
Contemporary Indonesian Perspectives
On the Nature of Botanical Gardens at Framer Framed in Amsterdam features nine contemporary Indonesian artists who look critically at botanical gardens, colonial power, knowledge building and the economics of nature, its legacies and current consequences of approaching nature and plants. This exhibition takes a decolonial approach to the concept of botanical gardens and their role in building a Dutch colonial empire in Indonesia.
